Two people are in jail in connection with a shooting in a Taco Bell parking lot, and a third suspect is on the run and considered "armed and dangerous" by authorities.Tevin Marquez Thomas, 19, of 43 Thurgood Marshall Road, was arrested late Tuesday night and charged with attempted murder, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. Robert Lee Moore, 24, of 321 Wheeler Court, Moore, has also been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Travis Hall, 32, of Inman. A warrant has been obtained for Moore's arrest but he had not been taken into custody Wednesday, Lt. Tony Ivey said.Reginald Marcquette Sanders, 27, of 205 Idlewood Circle, Spartanburg has been charged with accessory after the fact of a felony, Ivey said.Deputies were called to Taco Bell on Spartanburg's west side about 2:15 p.m. Monday and found Hall inside a silver Chevrolet Impala, shot in the head, Ivey said. Hall's condition was unavailable from Spartanburg Regional Medical Center Wednesday.Investigators developed Thomas as a suspect after talking with witnesses from Taco Bell and canvassing the nearby strip mall next to the restaurant on Warren H. Abernathy Highway near WestGate Mall.Ivey said people inside Taco Bell and the nearby businesses heard gunshots and told deputies that a light-colored Chrysler 300 was seen leaving the scene. Ivey said that vehicle has been connected to the shooting, but he didn't elaborate."We were able to get some good eyewitness information," Ivey said.It appears the shooting arose as a result of a "dispute" involving illegal drugs, according to investigators.Sanders was not present during the shooting, but assisted Thomas in evading law enforcement after the incident by taking him to a couple different locations, Ivey said."He (Sanders) knew what happened but instead of reporting it, he chose to help Thomas," Ivey said.Thomas is being held at the Spartanburg County jail with no bond. He is also charged in an unrelated case with receiving stolen goods, value of $2,000 or less. In that case, he is accused of receiving or possessing a stolen laptop in December.The three suspects and Hall have criminal records, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.Thomas was most recently arrested and charged by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department with two counts each of grand larceny and second-degree burglary, and possession of a stolen pistol and unlawful carrying of a pistol earlier this month.Sanders, who remained in jail Wednesday awaiting a bond hearing, was arrested earlier this month by the public safety department and charged with assault and battery, credit card theft and credit card fraud, according to SLED.Moore was arrested by the sheriff's office in late December and charged with possession of a stolen gun. Moore and Hall have both served time in prison, according to SLED.Ivey said Moore is the brother of Spartanburg native and Chicago Bears football player D.J. Moore. Robert Moore is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, Ivey said."We're hoping with enough publicity, Moore will do the right thing and turn himself in," Ivey said.Anyone with information on Moore's whereabouts may call 911 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.
